(335 posts)First, about opinion. Everything here is an opinion. It's my OPINION that JFK was shot. It's my OPINION that Jack Ruby shot Oswald. There is evidence of those things, but it's my opinion that the evidence is sufficient.
So it's not about it being opinions, it's about what evidence we have.
There is tons of proof Oswald shot Tippitt. He WAS perfectly able to do it. Witnesses saw him do it. A very rare event of a police officer being shot just HAPPENED to be where Oswald was, with his gun, with the police looking for him.
People have gone back and reconstructed his whole travel. It all works.
There is a ton of proof Oswald shot Walker. We have Marina's testimony that Oswald TOLD her he had shot at Walker just after he did it, as he anxiously waited for news on whether he had killed him.
Maps of Walker's home were in Oswald's belongings. He'd left Marina money and a note as I recall just before going to shoot him.
There ARE mysteries around whether Oswald had any accomplices, just how he travelled - but it's clear he did it.
There are notes of what Oswald said in custody in 11 hours of interrogation, written after the fact by people who were there.
It's a travesty that their incompetence did not tape record or more carefully record the notes, but we have a clear idea from the people who were there.
And it makes sense what they say, fitting his statements and demeanor in the seconds we have of him on film.
He was denying everything except punching the officer in the theatre. He denied owning a rifle and claimed the picture found of him holding it was forged (scientifically proved not forged now). He denied he knew how the alias ID card he was carrying was there.
So there wasn't much value to the comments. He was denying everything, as he did on film.
Notice what he DIDN'T say. If he had really been 'a patsy', manipulated by people, set up, he had the chance to yell their names to the cameras, to give some specifics - he did not do so. Someone in that situation would have quickly wanted to expose his betrayers.
